PARTLOW, MRS. KATHRYN - Mrs. Kathryn Partlow, 50, wife of L. W. Partlow of Tippecanoe City, a sister of Charles S. Ross of Troy, succumbed to a cerebral hemorrhage at her home on West Broadway at that place Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock.  The attack was the second she had suffered, the first having occurred about two years ago last fall.  Mrs. Partlow was taken ill about 11 o'clock Friday morning, death following several hours later.  Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Zion Lutheran church, Rev. Ralph A. Harshman, pastor, in charge.  Burial will be made in Maple Hill cemetery.  Mrs. Partlow was prominent in social, club, church and civic activities in Tippecanoe City, where she spent practically her entire life.  As a young woman she taught in the public schools for several years.  She was the daughter of the late Isaac N. Ross and Mrs. Mary Ross with whom the Partlows reside.  Born in Goshen, Ind., Mrs. Partlow had lived in Tippecanoe since she was a year old.  The decedent was formerly a member of the board of education and served for four years as its president.  She was chairman of the American Red Cross and formerly a member of the Civic club, of which she was a former president.  Her club affiliations also included the Tippecanoe Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, and she was a past worthy matron of the order.  Her church affiliation was with Zion Lutheran church in which she took an active interest, for many years being a teacher in the Sunday school and active in the societies of the church.  Following first occurrence of her illness two years ago, Mrs. Partlow relinquished much of her activity.  Surviving are her husband, Louis Partlow, who is one of the owners of the Ohio theater in the village; two sons, James and Robert, the former a student in the University of Florida, both at home at present; her mother, Mrs. Ross; one sister, Mr. C.
